This quilt top took me 60 hours to finish. Lots of cutting. Lots of tiny, little pieces that required 1/8" inseams. Crazy!!!!! But, the baby came out beautifully (I think, anyway). It's 75 x 87. The pattern is by The Rabbit Factory. It's called "Around the Block." It will hang in our new house in Florida. This is my housewarming gift to myself. Thank you for looking!

It's beautiful! You did a great job :thumbup:
So smart of you to make yourself such a wonderful house warming gift ;)

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT is ONE AMAZING quilt!! Can you tell just how MUCH I LOVE it??? The labor--in all ways--was 110% worth it. Gorgeous!!

It's beautiful!
You did a wonderful job!

That is beautiful!! Just wondering if it's applique or is it pieced?

Love it.

Amazing that it took you only 60 hours, Dedicated quilter. Nice job

Beautiful. I love it.

Thank you, Teresa. It's 100% pieced. I don't know how to applique (yet).

That's incredible! I absolutely love it! My mom's a realtor and I'd love to make her a house quilt.

Fabulous! Congratulations on your "baby" :P and your new house. Great job!

I"ve had that pattern for years, haven't even started it, and can't believe how quickly you finished it. You must be a fast sewer. It is wonderful, and you know, if we really want something, we might as well get it, or do it for ourselves. :lol: Good luck on your move, when will it be? Soon?

Ethel, It's absolutely beautiful! What a great present to yourself. :D

Love it!

Only 60 hours? Would be more like 60 years for me!! That is gorgeous!

ooooooooooooooo that is beautiful. you did an awesome job

Fantastic - well worth all those hours. :D

Ethel - WOW!!!!! I love it, and am awed at the work you do!!! :D
Congratulations on the new house, when are you moving?

What a wonderful gift to yourself and a great job.

Thank you, everyone! We are moving in 2 1/2 weeks. We leave Nebraska on 10th June and should be in our new house on 12th June. We are going to move to the panhandle, and will be right next to the Gulf waters.

Sounds so wonderful!! No more snow either! :wink:
Do you have a picture of your new place yet?
:-)

60 hrs?????? Only 60 hours??? Wow...I thought it was fantastic and that it was appliqued....spectacular, then I read that it was all pieced!!! How in the heck???? Its lovely though, you did a great job and you will really enjoy that in your new house. You are moving to one of our "favorite" areas! Show us pics when you get there and have a safe trip!!

That's gorgeous!!!

I do! It's on my husband's laptop, though, and he's in training in California. LOL! There is a spot in the living room where this quilt will hang. I want a quilt in each room of the house, whether it's a wallhanging or a blanket, or something.

Is 60 hours not a lot? I thought it was taking me FOREVER! LOL! I worked on 2 buildings each night. The trees and fences took about three hours to do. Piecing the rail fence blocks and the 9-patches took about 3 - 5 hours. The most TEDIOUS part was putting together the rail fence blocks and 9-patch blocks. That took six hours. Then piecing together the center, the sashing, the rail fence blocks and then the row of houses..... that took up the rest. It was definitely a labor of love.

BEAUTIFUL quilt! I wish I kept track of how long a top takes! It sounds like a lot, but when you want something enough, it doesn't sound that bad! Looks llike lots of cutting! What a wonderful present to yourself, and I applaud your goal of a quilt in each room! You go girl! :lol:

Beautiful work!!!
